- taliesinb 11y agoI think the title of this post could reflect that this article was published in 2014. If you want to see more videos, the supplementary section of the article has quite a few with descriptions: http://m.sciencemag.org/content/346/6208/1257998.figures-only http://m.sciencemag.org/content/346/6208/1257998.figures-onl... Here's a fascinating talk by the Nobel laureate behind this technique, titled "Imaging Life at High Spatiotemporal Resolutions": http://youtu.be/2R2ll9SRCeo http://youtu.be/2R2ll9SRCeo

- dang 11y agoThanks, we added 2014 to the title.

- throwaway_41673 11y ago...and so can an old microscope. Betzig invented PALM, which was a cool idea. This isn't. The lattice light sheet is a combination of a great idea Betzig didn't invent (light sheet microscopy) with another great idea Betzig didn't invent (structured illumination microscopy). The engineering is well done, but the fundamental idea is crap: the two techniques don't combine in an elegant way, and interfere with each other's strengths. What Betzig did exceptionally well with this paper was parlay a star-studded author list and some fancy surface-rendered time lapse movies into an extremely high-impact paper, despite a mediocre underlying accomplishment.
